Chapter 233 Friendship
Li Bi is very worried about her father's safety, you must know that if there is chaos today and the road is isolated, where is Chang'an so easy to return?
But Li Jing walked too fast, and it was useless for anyone to worry.
At the end of July of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the war in the Great Sui seemed to have suddenly entered a new stage.
In Hebei, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande joined forces, defeated tens of thousands of Sui troops in the river, and beheaded Zhuo County to defend Guo Xuan, since the world was in turmoil, this is the first time that the peasant army has defeated so many officers and soldiers on the frontal battlefield.
This has a lot to do with Guo Xuan's rash advance against the enemy, but the peasant army is in the process of annexing each other, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is also obvious to all.
Moreover, after several years of war, the soldiers and soldiers who had participated in the Northern Expedition in Hebei and Shandong have thrown themselves into the chaotic army and trained men and horses for the chaotic army, which has gradually shown results.
By this time, the peasant army in Hebei and Shandong was no longer the kind of chaotic people who were fighting in a swarm of wars, fleeing and making a mess, and at this time, they could already be called soldiers.
The biggest benefit of the defeated official army is actually the surrender of pawns, which will make the rebel army stronger and stronger.
At this time, the shortcomings of the rebel army were exposed again, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida had a disagreement, Dou Jiande advocated retracting to Shandong, it was too dangerous outside, it was better to stay in Shandong, how good it was to stay in his own place.
Gao Shida has a strong desire to forge ahead, he feels that after defeating Guo Xuan, he should conquer the city and defeat Hebei, what does Shandong have now? In addition to the desolate fields, which are full of white bones, he is reluctant to go back, and several large granaries in Hebei are his goals.
So, Gao Shida led the army out of Shandong, and Dou Jiande also went back to Shandong happily, and he was very happy to explore the way.
The second half of the twelfth year of the Great Cause. In the land of Hebei and Shandong, there is no doubt that it is the world of the servant Yang Yichen.
This person is a veteran who can fight habitually, so there is no need to elaborate on his origin.
In fact, during the Great Cause years, there were too many such court generals to count, and they were all talents who grew up after participating in countless wars. Ren took out one, and the wars he experienced in his life and the exploits he made could make the so-called famous generals hide their faces and leave.
It's a pity that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui played too much, so many generals who could conquer and fight were not able to withstand it.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yang Yichen recruited tens of thousands of troops, and with almost no effort, he swept away the Hebei rebels one by one.
First of all, there is Gaoshida. This guy hit Yang Yichen's old hard stone.
As a result, Gao Shida was defeated and died, and the remaining remnants of the army were defeated and fled back to Shandong, and Dou Jiande was accepted.
Then Zhang Jin said that this famous murderous demon king finally came to an end, and under the first battle, he was killed by Yang Yichen and defeated. Yang Yichen hated his cruelty and ordered people to be poor in the mountains and rivers. Ask for his head by name.
At the end of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the murderous demon king was finally arrested from Qinghe.
Yang Yichen used the most cruel punishment to execute Zhang Jincheng, and it is said that the people clapped their hands and cheered, competing to step forward, wanting to eat the meat of Jincheng and then hurry.
In fact. This is the embellishment of later generations, Zhang Jin said that he was a murderer, but the people's anger was not so great, Yang Yichen announced his guilt and hung his head to show the public. It has also not achieved any effect on reassuring the people.
He and Zhang Xutuo encountered a similar situation, and they suppressed one after another, unless you killed all the people in Hebei and Shandong, it would indeed stop.
After that, Yang Yichen captured Ge Qian alive, this guy who called himself King Yan had a lot of troops, but his reputation was not so great, and after this person was caught, he demoted Yang Yichen.
It can be said that Yang Yichen transferred to Hebei Zhudi, had no opponents at all, and subdued many rebels, and the team began to grow.
But soon, the people in the eastern capital were a little scared, Yang Yichen was surnamed Yang, and he was deeply respected by Yang Guang, and his family was all loyal ministers of the Yang family.
So, the edict of the Eastern Capital, well, can't say anything about the edict, Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, Lianghuai Du Fuwei, Pu Gongtuo and others are getting stronger and bigger, and Jiangdu is about to break off contact with Dongdu.
Therefore, the so-called edicts are actually made by the courtiers of the Eastern Capital.
Needless to say, it is to recruit Yang Yichen back to the Eastern Capital.
As a result, everything Yang Yichen did in the twelfth year of the Great Cause, except for cheapening Dou Jiande, did not have any effect.
This kind of behavior of comparing death, after the troubled times come, in fact, there is no need to comment more, many incomprehensible things, at this time, can find a certain reason, and they are all within the normal range.
In fact, at the beginning of July, Yang Yichen's grandson Yang Xin went to Jinyang and brought an edict from the Eastern Capital, asking Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, to send troops to help Yang Yichen quell the rebellion in Hebei.
Li Yuan changed hands and sent Yang Xin to Ma Yi and asked him to borrow troops from Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Ma Yi.
This is the standard kicking ball, Wang Rengong heard it, and directly called the county lieutenant Liu Wuzhou and asked Liu Wuzhou to send troops to Hebei.
Liu Wuzhou laughed, and said to Yang Xin, the army of Heng'an Town is strong and strong, if you can say that Li Po, the general of Heng'an Town, will send troops.
In fact, being able to push so many people around not only shows that the imperial court's edict has long been out of Dongjun, and no one will take any imperial decree seriously, but also shows that the Yang family is indeed not easy to mess with, and no one wants to offend them.
Yang Xin didn't report much hope, and he was already numb to these prevarications, and he couldn't even be annoyed, the world was so chaotic, no one could take care of anyone, that is, his grandfather, and he dutifully wanted to do his best for the court, and others, who could count on it.
He went to Yunnei again, but Liu Wuzhou, the lieutenant of Mayi, was really too enthusiastic, and almost sent someone to pull him there.
What is the situation of the Heng'an Town Army, Yang Xin actually doesn't know anything, he only knows that the Heng'an Town General is called Li Po, who is the son-in-law of Li Jing, the former Mayi County.
But when he arrived in Yunnei, he was really surprised.
Heng'an Town's general Li Po and his wife warmly entertained him, and they also admired his father and ancestors, which was the most friendly reception he received after coming to Jindi.
Two days later, Li Po, the general of Heng'an Town, ordered Chen Yuan, the captain of the school, to take a thousand men and horses to follow Yang Xin to serve under Yang Yichen's account in Hebei, a thousand people is really not much, but this is the elite of the border army, with all swords, guns and armor, and 200 cavalry.
Just like that, a thousand people, enough to be used by thousands of government soldiers recruited from all over the place.
With such a favor, Yang Xin can't help but be grateful.
When he said goodbye and left, Yang Xin beat his chest and told Li Po that if the general needs Yang's help in the future, despite the letter, Yang will do his best to help.
Li Po took his arm and said with a smile, Yang Gong is loyal to the martyrs, we have always admired him, but now he is a little thin, he can't say a word of thanks, and it is difficult to say anything in the future, so please remember Brother Yang, there is such a friend as Li Po here in Mayi.
Yang Xinji didn't remember this sentence, I don't know, anyway, this anxious friendship can be remembered.
What he didn't know was that the name Yang Yichen was thunderous to others, but this Hengan Town, who was always smiling, was not very familiar with it.
The first time I heard this name was when I was in the conquest of Liaodong, when Yang Yichen attacked Pyongyang with Yuwenshu, and was considered a senior officer in the army of 300,000.
ran as fast as Yu Wenshu and others, which made Li Po very contemptible.
Yang Xin came to Heng'an Town, according to Li Po's idea, then he drove away, these guys who eat people and don't do personnel will die.
But now he has a mother-in-law from the gate, and told him in detail about the origin of the Yang family, the royal surname, it turned out to be the surname Wei Chi, the generation of generals, and the reputation is very good, now Hengan Town is lonely, even if you don't help people, you shouldn't offend such a person.
Li Po pondered it carefully, and felt that what Li Bi said was right, in these days, the good family background is too advantageous, and even if you don't make friends, you can't offend them.
After wondering, his idea came.
The icing on the cake is far worse than sending charcoal in the snow, and the recruits in Hengan Town also need to be sharpened, Li Po immediately decided to give the Yang family this face, which is actually his first purposeful attempt to befriend the disciples of the gate valve.
It's done very well, and the effect is also very good.
As for whether these thousand soldiers and horses can be borrowed and can come back, Li Po is not too worried, Chen Yuan is now his confidant general, if such a person is unreliable, then he has to think about what is wrong with him.
Of course, these things are also done for Liu Wuzhou to see, you see, Hengan Town borrowed troops to go out, now you can rest assured, right?
As for what Liu Wuzhou, who was "relieved" of his heart, could do later, Li Po was really not sure.
After sending Yang Xin and his party away, the Hengan Town Army also began to reorganize its armament.
Li Po and Wang Qing calculated early, this year's task is not as heavy as last year, and when it was winter last year, if you didn't fight that battle, you wouldn't even be able to get through the winter.
This is actually the place where Yunnei is controlled by others, without the support of Ma Yi, the Hengan Zhenjun will have to go hungry.
This is the usual method of the imperial court to restrain the border generals, and no one will let the border army fill the warehouse with grain and grass, in that case, how many anti-thieves will have to be spawned?
In fact, Li Po and Li Bi both regret it now, they shouldn't have given the cattle and sheep to Li Jing and let Li Jing go to Jinyang to invite merit.
If you hadn't sent that part away, the Hengan Town Army would have been much easier.
It's a pity, it's all given to the white-eyed wolf surnamed Li in Jinyang, I don't have to say anything, and I got a bag full of money, who to reason with this year's affairs?
And this year's war, Hengan Town can be said to have been planning for a long time.
In July, the cattle and sheep on the steppe were fat and strong, and most importantly, the Turks were defenseless, and the borders of the Great Sui gradually opened their arms to them.
It's a pity that last year's war made the Turks seem to be a little relieved, and the sequelae of using soldiers are continuing to plague them.
Their bearing capacity is not a little worse than that of the Great Sui.
Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, coupled with hundreds of thousands of people running around, worked hard to toss a Central Plains empire to the present devastated appearance.
The Turks had only come once, and they felt very unwell.
(On the last day of the end of the month, let Ah Cao breathe a sigh of relief, two more, Ah Cao has updated more than 300,000 words this month, hard enough, right?) Let me slow down. (To be continued.) )
